For Medical Professionals
Because ovarian cancer has no screening tools, blood tests and the symptoms often are mistaken for other conditions, misdiagnosed and even ignored OCATS has developed an OCATS Physician Guide (available to anyone). This guide was developed to help medical professionals and women recognize the symptoms, be aware of symptoms and combinations of symptoms, the diagnostic tools available to every physician, proper referral practices for women with the possibility of a gynecologic cancer. We will soon be sending this guide to every medical clinic and medical professional in Saskatchewan.
These guides are available in Australia and in the United States. To view these documents:

New Patient Care Kits
OCATS has a new patient care kit made specially for women with gynecologic
cancers and are tailored with special information for ovarian, cervical
or uterine cancers. These kits will be distributed to patients through the
Gynecologic Oncologists in Saskatchewan.
If you would like a kit for a patient please contact darlenegray@sasktel.net or 306-775-1848.
